If anyone knows of the group Shpongle they know that they specifically cater to psychedelics users. With influences from Hindu mantras, Gurus and Tribal music as well as Recent electronica, they have made their way into my heart and my home. Not an official music video, but it entertains me and is just a wee bit creepy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVygOyUoke0

One of my 5 favorite bands! I love all of twisted records stuff, shpongle is by far the best. So much depth and complexity!
I gotta slide "Nothing Is Something Worth Doing" into number 2 or 3.. you can't beat the sound of the hang drum
Just saw them live a few weeks ago. Definitely one of my top shows ever. Everyone in my group was on LSD, and I think 9 out of 10 people in the crowd were too. I also like Simon's older stuff, the Hallucinogen days, so it was super cool when he mixed in a few of those old tracks too.
Does anyone think their 2005 album is worth a listen? I have their old stuff and don't believe that they could have topped Beja floor ;p
Nothing lasts is my favorite Shpongle record. Also if you're going to listen to Shpongle for the 1st time (or any time for that matter) it's best to drop a whole album, start to finish (make sure continuous playback is ON). Real mind journey.
